| Wondering if 2005 was a good or bad year for the forester? I am seriously considering buying the 05 LL Bean edition with 62K miles - should i go for it? | |

Replying to: texases (Nov 04, 2008 6:45 am) I have always been a tire pressure fanatic, and with the AWD it is probably even more important for proper balance and performance. I use 35 psi all around. I find less than 35 hurts fuel mileage. Good luck with your Forester! I am sure you will love it. |

Replying to: holiver (Nov 02, 2008 11:27 am) Pre 03 had wheel bearing issues. Pre 02 had head gasket issues. 03 was v1.0, even though it turned out ok. 2005 was the 3rd year for that design. 06 was a refresh. It's about as reliable a year as you could pick, basically. Caveat: 62k means no powertrain warranty at all. |

I am considering selling my 2001 Subaru. It is almost at 100K miles, is needing more and more repairs, and I'd like to get something with better fuel economy since I recently moved to L.A. At the same time, it's a great car and I wouldn't want to let go of it "too soon." When have other people given up their Foresters (i.e. after how many miles)? Thanks!
